Steve Smith has retired from one-day international cricket following Australia’s semi-final exit from the Champions Trophy.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 35-year-old made 170 appearances for Australia in his 50-over career, hitting 12 centuries and winning the ODI World Cup in 2015 and 2023. <\/p>\n
Smith captained the side in Pat Cummins’ absence during his final ODI appearance on Tuesday, when Australia suffered a four-wicket loss to India<\/a> in Dubai in the Champions Trophy. <\/p>\n The former Sussex batsman will remain available for Test and T20 selection for his country. <\/p>\n “There have been so many amazing times and wonderful memories. Winning two World Cups was a great highlight along with the many fantastic team-mates who shared the journey,” said Smith, Australian men’s ODI player of the year in 2015 and 2021. <\/p>\n “Now is a great opportunity for people to start preparing for the 2027 ODI World Cup so it feels like the right time to make way.<\/p>\n “Test cricket remains a priority and I am really looking forward to the World Test Championship final, the West Indies in the winter and then England at home. I feel I still have a lot to contribute on that stage.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
